Hussain Khushaish (ICOP & Moonsighting.com member) from Kuwait reported: Not Seen
In Kuwait on Sunday, 21 March 2004, I could not sight the crescent even with 20*60 binocular. Venus was seen easely before sunset while Mercury took sometime to be discovered first by binocular then by naked eyes.

This evening (Sunday, March 21), my son and I sighted the moon (with naked eye) in Blacksburg, VA at 7:10

and 6:30-7:00 O'Clock. The local sunset was at 6:35 pm.

The new moon sliver was sighted in Nacogdoches, Texas, at 6:56 by one
adult and one child, and was sighted in Houston, Texas, by two adults
and one very happy child at 6:57 p.m. Please share my praise to our God for blessing us in this way.
Paul Burnham (Moonsighting.com member) Chino Valley, AZ reported: Seen
The new moon was successfully observed from Chino Valley, AZ (USA) thanks to clouds which dissipated as the sun went down. Timings were:
Located with Binoculars: 1850 MST
Observed with Naked eye: 1908 MST
With the bonus of Mercury and Venus glistening in this spring twilight, it was an altogether pleasant time. For its age of 27+ hours, this was one of the thinnest crescents I have observed.
Hussain Khushaish (ICOP & Moonsighting.com member) from Kuwait reported: Seen
In Kuwait on Monday, 22 March 2004, I sighted the crescent directly when I started searching which was 5 minutes before our local sunset.
